candle flame
Wax-fed light source
The visible fire at the tip of a candle's wick, produced by burning wax vapor.
The flame's teardrop shape results from convection—hot air rising while cooler air flows in from below.
Candle flames have come to symbolize hope, remembrance, and fragile persistence: a single candle flame in the darkness.
